"You have survived the cold, the wind, the yetis, you are exhausted but 
exhilarated as you pull yourself over the final ledge and collapse onto 
the summit, and then you notice an urgent beeping in your pocket. In our 
rush to extract your PDA with frost-bitten fingers, you overbalance and 
fall backwards. As you plummet towards certain death, you just have time 
to read that you can get herbal viagra at an unbeatable price..."

How High is Your AP?

DeAshcroft writes "The New York Times has a piece [give up your data] on 
the wiring of Everest. Tsering Gyaltsen, the grandson of one of Sir 
Edmund Hillary's orignal summit-conquering Sherpas is bringing the net 
to the mountain (presumably bringing the mountain to the net was even 
more difficult). He's attracted a great set of 'technologists' to make 
this happen, and, best of all, it means the locals get access (including 
a school of about 250 students), not just the rich geeks who come to 
town to climb the thing."
